Doesn't surprise me anymore. I'm more shocked when they don't go in.
This is the most bothered I've been by pockets since 2009. It's kicked all the tension out of the matches for me tbh. When a player is in amongst them, it feels like there's only a 1 per cent chance of anything going wrong.

Agreed. Was a brilliant shot, cue raised and digging down and dead straight.

In my opinion there is no greatest ever. Compare zidane to messi or maradona to pele or cruyff to ronaldinho is unlikely.
They are all great players. But the greatest ?
Asks a Neapolitan who is the greatest? We already know the answer.

13:12 either way very much possible. Still think both need to improve a tad though to really have a good chance of beating Selby in the quarters.

Messi and Ronaldo are equal
Its a shame Messi fans always try to belittle Ronaldo by claiming Messi is far superior

In my opinion from watching football for a long time,i've seen nobody come even close to the little genius.Including Ronaldo whether he wins the Ballon Dor or not.I've never got so much joy out of watching a player.Simply the best.

Have to say though since 4-1 Marco has looked the better player but I think it has all the makings of a 13-12

Would like to see Ronnie in the final , being the man himself to prevent Higgins from doing that. Which of course means that Ronnie will have to play finally like a man again. Something he hasnt done against Higgins for 10 years now.
I would love a Ronnie v Higgins final.The tension would be through the roof.
i can think of a million better things than a grandad final
Granddad final

I hope it goes 13-12 for someone, much like Robbo v Hawkins. Although that one was probably one of the very best matches standard wise I've ever seen at The Crucible, certainly Top 3.

What Ronaldinho was doing was more magical than messi did. Messi always does the same.
Ronaldinho-maradona always created something new.
And Zidane was so unique in his way of playing.
